According to handwritten family tree information from Pauline Moses, George's mother was Ellen Francis Thompson. Perhaps she was married prior to marrying John Sr.? My guess, since they have a son named Hardy, is that Thompson would have been her married name. Need to look into this further.

Maiden name, birth and death dates, and burial information comes from Suewiya Pickett (pickettjm@@mail.in-tch.com) on the internet.
